If you love the look of traditional quilts, you won't want to miss this pattern-packed book! This collection of gorgeous, classic quilt designs relies on rotary cutting, some strip piecing, and simple patterns.

Got an hour?  Make it a happy one!!  That's the advice from Akinson Designs in their new book.  Patterns include small and large block quilts, plus pillow, tote and table runner projects.  The triple tote bag, table runner and pillow projects are made from just three fat quarters (plus an optional inner bag lining).

This softcover book includes 11 patterns for lap size quilts.  All the patterns use fat quarters, which are stacked and quickly cut with easy to follow rotary cutting instructions.

Get 12 more lap quilt patterns, again using fat quarters that are stacked and rotary cut.  Softcover, 35 pages.

Another great book by Iowan, Pat Speth.  The book includes 20 New Designs, with directions for three different sizes, all made with 5" squares. Quilts feature scrappy looks plus designs that use batik, reproduction, and rustic-looking fabrics, blocks are made with one or more of eight basic units -- two-at-a-time techniques make construction a breeze. Directions for 4" and 6" squares make it easy to customize quilts to your fabric collection!

Pat's original book using 5-Inch squares. It's scrap quiltmaking at its best—20 stunning quilt patterns in a rainbow of gorgeous colors, an all new approach to making scrap quilts that sparkle.

The book includes instructions that will use 5" squares to make 2 different blocks for 2 different quilts at the same time!!  It's the coolest idea.

Take two prints, add a few more for variety, and you're ready to sew a fun and fast fat quarter quilt.  Book includes 5 simple projects, with four sizes provides for every quilt.  Softcover, 20 pages.
